Truly beautiful!
I enjoyed this game so much and the second you open it it’s like a whole different world. I wish I could find another game like this one. It’s so truly remarkable and beautiful I had an amazing experience with headphones and finished it within hours. I’m so happy I found this game and it deserves all the love in the world. I would 100% recommend this game to anyone who enjoys fun puzzles with a good storyline. It’s not good for little kids because it’s a little to challenging and boring for them but I think teens and up will enjoy this. It’s truly charming and well made I have zero complaints and it’s just perfect. If I could rate hire I would in a heartbeat.

Love it
I totally recommend this game! While it’s short, there’s a very serene and calming ambiance to it, all the while guiding you through a very thought out story. A story that emphasizes the importances of… well life. It highlights just how short life truly is and how quickly it can all change, so take advantage of the here and now. It’s also quite interactive, which I loved. Unlike other story-like games that incorporate interactive puzzles, I didn’t find myself skipping or ignoring the dialogue… it completely sucked me in! I wish it was longer, or perhaps had more chapters, but the short 13 “chapters” and it’s epilogue did round the story off nicely and yet it allowed a little “window” in case they do add on!
It’s completely worth the download!!

Beautiful graphics & charming story
I’ve never left a review on a game before, but this game was so sweet and fun to play that I had to share my thoughts! It’s a fairly simple play through, and if you have time it won’t take more than a day. You play as a repair woman who’s just moved to a new town, and you meet a cast of characters who repair their relationships with each other as you repair the things important to them. The narration is beautifully done, and the puzzle is just challenging enough to keep the game interesting, but not so hard that it’s frustrating. I can’t believe this game was free, the quality was amazing ! I can’t wait to see more from this dev.

This game “Assembled my heart With Care”
I was able to get Apple Arcade for 3 months free since I was gifted an iPad for my birthday. I was looking at games and instantly saw this game. I thought it was going to be a simple game of just fixing items. Little did I know that it was a storyline game! Right when I opened the app, I was one awe with everything. The creators of the game did a magnificent job! I am sad that I am almost through with the chapters they have done. I trying not to finish the game in one sitting, but it’s very captivating. I hope that the game will have many chapters to come. I am invested in all of the characters lives! Thank you for creating such a marvelous game!

Wow. Just Wow.
First of all let me say go play this game now. Anyway, this game is absolutely fantastic. I downloaded this game expecting some mediocre assembly puzzles, but I got so much more. The story (which I won’t spoil) is really good and fits the game quite well. I love the voice acting and the way they do the cutscenes it’s just brilliant. The core of the game the puzzles, is even better. The puzzle are click and drag puzzles but it’s great. You unscrew screws (which is way too satisfying), click things together, drag wires, and heck you even make SOUP! The puzzles aren’t too difficult or incredibly long which is nice. With some you fix a camera or a statue. With others you build a coffee machine and fix a game console. The game is fairly short(1-2 hours) but the presentation (graphics are phenomenal by the way) the soundtrack is fantastic and the story and gameplay is so good that it deserves everyone’s admiration and most importantly…. 5 stars.

A joy to play
This is a game experience not to miss. I didn’t know what I’d be getting when I downloaded this, but I’m so glad I did. The voice acting, the aesthetic, the mood—it’s simply lovely and relaxing. It’s like taking part in a book—a very active part! The assembly is quite basic, but there are a few challenges woven in. And the creators used new(ish) and older items that will bring back more than a few memories for some of us.
Only one puzzle proved are bit of a challenge, but that was part of the fun.
Highly recommend—this is a wonderful experience, and I hope the developers are hard at work on the next story?

A unique and relaxing game
Beautiful music, a charming art style, great voice acting and a quaint story are the order of the day here with Maria and her little one woman repair gig. The game’s greatest sin is its brevity. Barely more than a dozen levels, my girlfriend (who played it alongside me on her own iPad) and I were left yearning for more. Alas, it would appear there aren’t any other games out there quite like this one.
I highly recommend anyone with a passing interest in largely simple but satisfying puzzles to have a go at it. It does its job of communicating the feeling of repairing and tinkering with various objects well, even if they’re rarely all that complicated. The epilogue level that was added post-launch is a treat and was a fun way to put a bow on the experience with its little bit of challenge. 9/10.

Could be longer but I love it
This game was a lot of fun but it could be longer I hope there working on that but I completed it in one sitting the music box one was a bit long but other then that I completed it in two hours tops they wrote that there was a chapter two but did not see it. It was like eating a delicious meal and wanting more but I loved the game it reminded me of how match I love taking things apart and putting them back together and how much fun it is to fix something and feel that sense of accomplishment. It was the most fun that I had since I played and finished monument 2 it lived up to the other games that us to games has made in the past to few levels but so Much fun ❤️🎮 ps I love the music and sounds! 😍😍😍

Brilliant! Just Brilliant!
The game, as soon as you open it, gives you a comforting and charming atmosphere. While the game itself only lasts about 1-2 hours, the story it tells is beautiful and teaches you to he importance of understanding the faults of others, and accepting them for who they are. The voice acting is delightful, with characters that show true emotion, and feel like they fit the characters you see on screen. Speaking of screens, the art for this game is perfectly balanced between detail and abstract, giving a very pretty and relaxing style to the game as a whole. The puzzles themselves aren’t too hard, but the appeal is in the way each repair tells more story than you could expect out of a puzzle. The overall experience was excellent, and the recommendation to use headphones was taken into account and greatly agreed upon. Not only do you get a great story, art, puzzles, and voices, but the game also offers a very soothing and calming soundtrack that I personally found to be the finishing touch on this already amazing game. I highly recommend, and cannot express how much respect I have for the developers of this game. I would love it if more people were able to experience the game, like if it was put on Steam or the general App Store, but even with its limitations, it is utterly fantastic.

Playing up, closing lines of the chapter
Maria’s last lines in Chapter 7 took me right to my own feelings when I left home. I didn’t care enough about leaving my parents behind because deep down, I knew they would always be there. That was, until my father unexpectedly passed away. I am 12 years on in my grief, never forgetting my excitement to live my own life ultimately came with a price. It’s taken years to relieve myself of the stress that if I cared more, visited and called, and wrote more, my dad would still be alive.
The truth is leaving home is all the exciting bits that should make you forget about the comfort and familiarity of home. I know in my heart my father was very proud of me then, and is even more proud following my journey in life from the spiritual realm.
Assemble with Care is AWESOME. This is my first foray in Apple Arcade game offerings. When I’m finished with this game, I will care enough to leave it behind to dive into your other game worlds and adventures. Well done.

Great game, way short
I love puzzle games and when it comes to the whole “fix the whatever” genre most games tend to be very repetitive and loaded with ads, one seemingly every 30 seconds or so. This app is neither repetitive nor ad laden. It’s fun and a little challenging but not “I’m going to lose my crap” so, while it lasts. The while it lasts part is the problem. I played the entire thing in one sitting, except for the epilogue, which I had to finish the next day because I started it later in the evening. Maybe they are going to expand it over time, which would be great, but as it stands now it’s simply very short but very fun while it lasts. The one other thing I noted that brought the score down was that supposedly there’s one unlocked level in order to complete it. Maybe that’s an upcoming update or maybe it’s a glitch. I double checked all the levels and have completed everything released. Of you want a couple of hours trying out a “fix the thing” game, this nails it. Just don’t expect it to be an every day time waster.

Excellent Games Mars by a Single Technical Issue
I adore the game itself. It's deceptively simple mechanics and charming art style lend themselves to a fun and compelling narrative. However, when playing on my 2018 iPad Pro, if I have to swap away from the game (for example if an urgent work email notification appears), then upon return to the game, audio no longer works. I've tried playing audio in other apps when this occurs and the issue is definitely limited to "Assemble with Care" alone. Popping into the menu and adjusting audio sliders does nothing. The only way to fix this problem is to close the game from the Overview screen and re-open it, causing you to lose any progress on the current repair job.

Fantastic Game
I don’t often write reviews, but this game definitely deserves one.
I enjoy the gameplay itself. It’s fairly easy and relaxing. There’s a few points I got stuck on but not for long at all, just needed some tinkering. I would’ve like a zoom-in feature, but it’s not a big deal.
I adore the art style! The use of color is amazing and it’s very crisp and clean.
And then my absolute favorite part of the game: the story. I loved all the characters and their own little character arks. With this being a pretty short game the writers were able to explain so much and add on to the characters in a very impressive way. I was able to connect with all these characters instantly and I left wanting more. I would love this to be longer to have more interaction with these characters, but asking for that is my own selfish desire. The story telling was to good to add anymore just to add more.
All in all I highly recommend this game, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing game and enjoy a well told story.

Very Beautiful and Enjoyable Game
I absolutely love everything about this game! The visuals, the music, the art style, the story, absolutely everything. It’s a very calming game, perfect for anyone who wants to play an easy-paced game that requires a bit of thinking as to where certain parts go. Thankfully the game is very helpful in directing the player where to put each object. I can not wait for more chapters to be added onto the game as the only thing that upset me was how short the game was but it’s understandable after seeing all the thought and hard work that goes into this masterpiece. Great Job Developers!

I wish it were longer!
This game is so amazing, and I enjoyed every bit of it! The graphics, the voice acting, the art, the story, even the gameplay was amazing! I would give this five stars, but it’s so short! I finished it in only a day, and I wish their were more! It almost seems they got tired of making it, because it seems like there was so much more story to unlock, but no. Also, the story of Joseph and Izzy isn’t as engaging as Carmen’s and Helena’s. I feel like they could have done much more there. Maybe explore more of how the mother passed away? (I assume, since it’s never clear if she’s dead or if she ran away/divorced Joseph.) Anyways, I do love it a lot, though. Another thing is that I don’t like how they overuse the same artwork. Couldn’t you draw something else? I don't understand. They just use Maria’s eyes half the time, which gets boring very quickly. Anyways, great game, could use some work.

There’s no depth to gameplay or story
Even as a short diversion I was losing interest before it was done. Like many Apple Arcade games, it’s a pleasant feeling incomplete idea for a game.
The presentation is good. I think people will find connection with the story. But it’s more like a movie trailer, using simple manipulation to get past the lack of details. To some extent I felt the voice of the main character was telling me how emotional the story was rather than making me feel that.
The most complicated of the puzzles were still very simple. The control is OK for what it is, but starts to falter at the moment the player can do something wrong. Because the player can rarely do anything wrong it doesn’t do much to get in the way.
The biggest challenge I had was during the record player because the wires weren’t behaving the way I expected, not connecting to the holes, and the solution was that they suddenly started working.
There was room for an actual puzzle game, but it appears they decided that they didn’t want people to get stuck, so it’s more of a pop-up book.
You could so worse than downloading it as an Apple Arcade game, but you won’t remember it.

Beautiful yet simplistic
When I downloaded this game, I didn’t know what to expect but I’m glad I did because not only did I enjoy the graphics, the sounds of the 80’s. But also the story, the characters, the plot of how Maria left her parents in order to chase her dreams while eventually through it all, realizing what’s most important and that’s family. The bonds we share with our fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, hold those close and dear to your heart. Also yesterday had a challenge with the music box but I figured it out. Just the placement of the bird 😊. I recommend this game to anyone who likes a good challenge.

Surprisingly heartwarming
This is my first review I’ve ever written. I never write them because a game has never made me feel like I needed to, but this game is very different. I downloaded the game thinking it would be a nice, lighthearted puzzle game with beautiful graphics and art behind it, but I was quickly swept into an investing storyline that made me play all the way through. The ending left me in tears, one of the first games I’ve ever played to do so to me. I highly recommend this game, whether it’s because you’re interested in the puzzle aspect, story aspect, or both. Both are wonderfully crafted and combined to create one of, if not the best mobile game I’ve ever played. It’s short, but very sweet and unforgettable.

Fixing people’s heart via restoring their objects
This is a BEAUTIFUL game. It is so well done, that even the beginning is so charming. The first thing attracted me is the narrator, with the music, it just feels some clam and relaxing. Move towards to the gameplay mechanics, even it is very simple, but each tap and each swap is very satisfying. Fixing a broken object and see that impact to the person is a really engaging experience. In the later game, you started to see the different lines of story start to overlap with each other, as a player, you can start to realize that you’re not just fixing broken things, you are actually repairing people’s relationships and their hearts. It is marvelous.
